Opening a web page while in game

[tigerallenpride]

Is there a way to launch a web page on command while in game? I have been working on this for hours, but I guess I don't really know what I'm doing. I was trying to use:

require 'open-uri'
require 'uri'

open("http://www.google.com")

However 'open-uri' must not be a part of Ruby 1.8? And I don't even think this is right.

I also tried using file.open, and putting a google.htm file in my folder, but that isn't proper usage I don't think.

I know it's possible, but I don't know what to do.
Any suggestions?

Please help!

you have the right method - just looked it up in the pickaxe's class library
however I am unsure about the version of ruby RMXP RGSS is running,
I believe it simply may not have the URI and URL classes defined,
so you're going to simply need to google their code and the code for any undefined superclasses
should be an easy fix :thumb:

Here Is The Code

Thread.new{

system("explorer [url=http://www.google.com]http://www.google.com[/url]")}

Wow, that worked... I wouldn't have thought to do that in a million years.

Thanks so much, Lionel!
